Unauthorized app sync: BackWPup

[Maira G.]

Today I went to my security tab, something I don't do as often as I should, and this app was authorized to access to all my files. Needless to say that I've never authorize it, I didn't know what it was so I had to Google it. I removed it from my list, but I'm really concerned about a security breach on my account.

Is there something else I have to do? Was this a Dropbox issue?

All applications can only add themselves if the user has the password and email address to the account. If an application is authorised on your account, you, or somebody with your details, has authorised it. 

I suggest changing passwords, running virus scans etc. and also setting up two step authentication

That's ok, the thing is I'm the only user and I'm sure I've never authorized it, I mean, it costs $75, I would know. Anyway, I'll update my password.

Thanks.

Are you referring to BackWPup? If so, it's a free backup utility for WordPress blogs. Only the Pro version costs $75.
